Dear Cancer

You owe the world an answer.

Dear Cancer,
Would you like to answer your reasoning behind all your destruction?
Why are you so reluctant to tell us all the truth?
I swear it won't take up too much of your pointless time
But you deserve to be paused of your wasteful and selfish behavior so I don't care
I'll waste my last breath and question you to death
So just answer
Why do you steal strength away and replace it with weakness?

Cancer, you are relentless
Leaving your victims tired and restless
No they can't sleep
They can't dream in fear they will again see your awful face
Made up of disgusting selfish flesh
As you eat away the life of the innocent
How can you be so persistent in destroying?
Don't even have the respect to give your hostages notice
And you leave them bruised and broken
You steal good souls and leave them with nothing more than their aching bones

They cry out in God's name
You rip away their mental state as well
You beast
You monster
You waste
You constant reminder of how unfair life can be

Oh Cancer
I think you owe us a favor
You owe us an answer
The patients you have in hospital beds
Leaves me more than impatient for your response
Why do you cause such disaster?
Just give us a damn answer
Why is that so hard?

The Devil is your puppet master
As you leave hearts shattered behind you
Off to the next victim even faster
You're the worst criminal
No you don't take money
But that doesn't mean you're not greedy
You play your own game of monopoly
You roll the dice again
As you're victims pay the price

The pale in the faces
The dark under the eyes
The loss of hope as you take light away when there's sunshine out

You're pawn the Devil uses
As he gains power through weakness
Satan grins as you Cancer wrap your vines around your victims neck like a snake wraps it's body around its prey
As you let the anchors pull down hearts and take away faith
I pray every day that your destruction fades away

Because it's everywhere
All around us

Cancer why?
You still don't tell
Why do you cause Hell?
Doesn't the Devil have enough room to reign down there?
Please just stop bringing Hell here

Cancer- why do you linger?
As you again pull the trigger and out comes the bullet of incurable death
That just spreads like a forest fire
Burning bodies and souls until there's nothing left but broken bones in hospital beds

Cancer- will you ever gives us an answer?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
